Programme

Overview

Attilio Ariosti (1666-1729), a mendicant monk who found fame as a composer, joined Handel and Bononcini as co-director of their London opera company. Join La Serenissima for a rare chance to hear his rousing oratorio La profezia d'Eliseo nell'assedio di Samaria, (‘The Prophecy of Elisha during the Siege of Samaria’), written in 1705 for Vienna’s imperial chapel.
